the needles fall the roots they crawl around the branches spread their shadows on the ground
got tall pines I can lean against, try to listen to a deeper sense hold the earth for one moment in my hands, and know the battles that were wagered here the blood the bones the cries the gripping fear the dust of time that lingers in the air
if I could find those vivid signs that frame you evoking lines in progressive time that reach you
got tall pines I can lean against, try and listen to a deeper sense hold the earth for one moment in my hands, know the battles that were wagered here the blood the bones the cries the gripping fear the dust of time that lingers in the air
the rain that falls the canyon walls that follow the river bends the birds descend to swallow
got tall pines I can lean against, try and listen to a deeper sense hold the earth for one moment in my hands, praise the fact that I can feel the pain tears are falling down like rain the dust of time that lingers in the air.

Need….. ein liter fass von dir

Seed…… that scatter to the wind

It was the part … the all said and done

flaming words then ashes on the ground

after all the wind swept nights that linger at your door
C Bb
Just to prove you hunger for a change
SOLO modulation of verse

Repeat verse and chorus end on Bb sustained
Note for Klaus;
Arrangement should take into account that this song is a distilled/ condensed take on the bands sound spectrum thus far.
(laid back and atmospheric but still played with dynamic accentuation). Avoiding however possible the generic classification the band has occupied in the past.

The lion lays there motionless has nothing left to prove

and carries on as if she wasn’t there.

I did never want to go, I just never never want to fight,
D C#
but as I looked up in the sky the stars were bright that night
G B
I told my baby we’ve got time there’s plenty left to use
E A D
She’s brave enough to stand alone, he seemed so unaware

and carries on as if she wasn’t there.
mod. A D G

She wanders around and strums her tune and learns again to laugh
D C#
writes down the words she really means before they break in half
G B
and now and then she thinks of him not able to reform
